Tarot cards are one of many forms of divination – revealing past, present and future. Tarot readings can measure potential outcomes and evaluate influences surrounding a person, event, or both. The technical term for tarot reading is taromancy (divination through the use of tarot cards). Comprised of 78 cards, the Tarot is divided into what is called the Major Arcana – the cards which reveal the most important, soul issues surrounding a question and the Minor Arcana – cards which tell you about the day-to-day, mundane issues and the people involved with the question you are asking.

Tarot readings can give you in-depth information about the situation you are facing – the people involved, the challenges you face, whether or not the outcome as determined by your current actions will be what you are seeking and more. If you don’t like the outcome as it stands currently, the cards can also give you specific direction about actions you need to take or changes you need to make to get the outcome you desire.

Tarot readers commonly believe that the future is fluid and thus absolute predictions of future events are impossible. Instead, they focus on possible outcomes as well as examining influences related to the issue at hand, influences you might not even be aware of before the reading. For example, say that you drove to work this morning. You had the destination in mind, but you had many options as to the route that you took to get there. You even had a choice about the type of transportation you used. Your future is the same way – you are the one in control of your future based on the decisions and choices you make.

By knowing what challenges or opportunities lie ahead, you can choose how to overcome those challenges or take advantage of those opportunities and thus create your own future. Tarot reading thus arms you with additional, specific information so that you can make more informed choices which lead to the outcome you are seeking.
